1 Chronicles 4:16 וַאֲשַׂרְאֵֽל׃ and Asarel
The sons of Jehallelel: Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel.
Here: Fourth son, named only here. The name ends with El, 'God'. The first part is unclear; it may be connected with Asarelah, a Levite singer in 1 Chronicles 25:2. Like many of these names, it carries God's name inside the family line.
